[Intro – haunting organ, distant wind] Shadows dance on the cathedral wall Silence echoes through the hollow hall [Verse 1 – heavy distorted bass, slow tempo] Crimson roses wilt upon the stone I rule this kingdom on a velvet throne Stained glass windows hide the moon away Waiting for the end of golden day [Verse 2 – building guitar tension] Lace and iron bind my frozen heart Death and beauty never drift apart The coffin waits with open wooden arms Shielding me from all the daylight harms [Pre-Chorus – ethereal vocal layers] Candlelight flickers in the cold Stories of the night remain untold [Chorus – powerful operatic vocals, heavy drums] Let the world fall into deep repose Underneath the petals of the rose Eternal sleep within the velvet dark Waiting for the moon to leave its mark [Verse 3 – driving rhythm, gritty vocals] Silver crosses line the sacred room I find my comfort in the silent tomb No more breathing in the dusty air Only shadows left for me to share [Chorus – maximum intensity, soaring melody] Let the world fall into deep repose Underneath the petals of the rose Eternal sleep within the velvet dark Waiting for the moon to leave its mark [Bridge – atmospheric organ solo] No more sun to burn the skin Let the endless night begin Close the lid and lock the gate In this silence I will wait [Solo – melodic electric guitar] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – epic orchestration] Let the world fall into deep repose Underneath the petals of the rose Eternal sleep within the velvet dark Waiting for the moon to leave its mark [Outro – fading organ, single bell toll] The lid is closed the light is gone I will sleep until the final dawn
